Suddenly There Are Three (Bailey and Artemis) novel Chapter 1047

Chapter 1047 The Main Wife Takes On The Mistress

He wanted to see Rainie.

He wanted to see Rainie.

He had just said she was his fiancée, and in the blink of an eye, he was thinking about another woman. Wasn't this a humiliating slap in Karina's face?

Karina instinctively reached out to grab Sylvester's arm.

But he moved so quickly that she only managed to grasp a piece of his clothing.

With a forceful struggle, her palm was left empty, replaced by bone-chilling coldness.

To lose control just upon hearing Rainie's name and then claim not to love her?

Really, that woman's existence was her biggest stumbling block.

She couldn't allow her to continue influencing their lives. She had to find a way to deal with her.

With this thought in mind, she walked toward the restroom.

While strolling, she pulled her phone out of her pocket. Once she reached a quiet spot, she unlocked the screen and dialed a number.

The call connected quickly, and she spoke first. “Mason, I've paid off the remaining three hundred million in gambling debts for you.”

A voice filled with excitement came through the phone. “Really? Are you willing to pay off the three hundred million in gambling debts for me?”

“Uh-huh, but you have to do something for me.”

“What is it?”

“Rainie is pregnant, and I need you to come and take her back.”

Mason was shocked, his voice trembling as he asked, “She's pregnant? Is it mine? Heavens, are you trying to get me killed? Sylvester loves that woman so much, and I took her innocence. If it weren't for the family elders protecting me, he would have killed me a long time ago. Now you want me to challenge his limits so that he'll have no choice but to come after me?”

Karina's voice grew stern. “What are you afraid of? The child in her womb is yours. She even admits to seducing you. Sylvester won't harm you.”

“But...”

“No buts. No risk, no reward. If you don't repay that three hundred million in gambling debts, you might end up dead at their hands one day. Besides, you've always resented Sylvester overshadowing you. Take this chance to marry the woman he loves. It's a form of revenge.”

There was a moment of contemplation on the other end of the line.

Karina added, “There are many benefits in this for you. Think about it.”

With that, she hung up the call.

Looking at herself in the mirror, Karina smiled a cold, knowing smile.

She believed Mason would come to Hallsbay.

If he didn't, she would let those creditors come after him to force him to repay the debt.

With no other options, he would have to listen to her.

Rainie, just accept your fate. You should go back to live with Mason.

Sylvester followed Bailey to the elevator.

“Bailey, hand Rainie over to me. It's time to settle things between us,” Sylvester said.

Bailey chuckled. “You're incorrigible.”

At the Xuereb residence, inside the tearoom, Olivia sat in a chair, her face dark as she listened to the butler reporting to her.

“So, what Mrs. Fletcher said wasn't groundless. That little wench from the Revelle family is really still alive?”

“Yes, Mr. Justin has been secretly purchasing many cancer treatment drugs and corresponding health supplements over the past two months. Furthermore, our undercover security personnel stationed at the Revelle family's villa have confirmed that Ms. Veronique is likely still alive.”

“Darn it.” Olivia smashed the tea cup in her hand hard on the table. “To use a faked death to deceive the world, they really have some nerves. Do you think if I were to expose this, it would ruin her reputation entirely?”

The butler considered and suggested, “Exposure alone won't be enough. We need to wait for Mr. Justin to go find her and then invite the reporters to catch them red-handed. It would be best if Ms. Scarlett takes the reporters with her. When the wife confronts the mistress, I'm afraid she won't have a place in this city.”

Olivia thought about it and found this plan appealing.

She had no time to think about her son's reputation now; her focus was solely on saving her family's name.

“Then let's proceed this way. If Justin goes to find that woman, inform us immediately. I'll have Scarlett take the reporters to lay in wait. The Revelle family has always prided themselves on their integrity and high moral standards. Allowing their daughter to fake her death and then engage in an affair with a married man, I can't wait to see how they handle this situation. Once this is exposed, I won't believe that that little wench can still establish herself in Hallsbay.”

“Ma'am, you're absolutely right. I'll make the arrangements. I heard that Mr. Justin has gone out for a drink; he might head to the villa to see Ms. Veronique tonight. You should get prepared with the reporters and inform Ms. Scarlett. Things may happen at any moment, and we shouldn't be caught off guard.”

“Very well, go ahead and arrange it. I'll handle the rest.”

Olivia's prediction was spot on, as Justin indeed headed to the villa under the influence of alcohol.

In the villa's living room, Bill sat on the couch, his cold gaze fixed on the visibly drunk Justin. He spoke sharply.

“You're a useless piece of work. Whenever there's a problem, all you do is drink. Besides that, what else are you good for?”

Justin, propping his eyelids open, spoke with unusual seriousness. “I didn't sign the marriage certificate with that woman; the wedding was merely a formality. She's not my legal wife.”
